So well put. I think they wanted to have a win-win: doing a new series and introducing more couples. They added…
@Yukii Exactly 😭 And honestly, when I saw Jame and Folk in this series, I was really happy because I already knew their potential. But at some point, Folk would appear in an episode while Jame barely gets any screen time, and sometimes we don’t even see him at all. 😭 Their screen time is getting so limited, and I genuinely don’t understand where this drama is going anymore.
Thank you for summing up my feelings about this series.Quite honestly I didn't plan on watching it, mainly because…
@Potato the cutie Thank you for saying this because YES 😭. You actually put into words something I’ve been thinking about for a while now.
I’m so deep into BLs that I read and write BL, and even though I’m not a 10+ year fan, I’ve watched and followed the genre for long enough to notice how much things have changed.
I remember when I first started getting into Chinese BLs around 2020, and honestly, one of the first thoughts I had was: if China ever starts seriously producing and releasing BLs, the Thai BL industry is going to feel it. Thai BL had been so dominant for such a long time that I feel like the industry became a little too comfortable.
And then ABO Desire happened. 😭
At first, I feel like everyone was just enjoying it and seeing what would happen, but looking at the industry now, especially from late 2025 into 2026, I genuinely feel like something has shifted.
Because why does it feel like we’re getting SO many Thai BL projects now, but the quality is becoming more and more inconsistent? 😭 Some of these dramas have amazing actors, amazing pairings, and so much potential, but then you actually watch them and start wondering, “Who approved this script?”
And don’t even get me started on bringing back second seasons for stories that already felt finished. 😭 Sometimes it genuinely feels like there aren’t enough new ideas, so everything is being pushed out as quickly as possible.
Meanwhile, Chinese BLs/CBLs have been coming in with some seriously strong productions. Longer episodes, more episodes, bigger stories, more detailed plots… and we’re seeing more and more different types of CBL projects.
I honestly never thought I would see the day when I’d look at the BL landscape and think, “Wait… Chinese BLs are actually becoming a serious competitor here.”
So when you said the Thai BL industry might feel threatened, I completely understood what you meant. I can understand why these companies would want to release more projects to keep up, but the problem is that when you rush everything, you start wasting your own talent.
Because look at these actors. Some of them have chemistry. Some of them are genuinely talented. Some of these pairings have already proven that they can work. But then they get handed a script where I’m sitting here after nine episodes asking myself, “What exactly am I watching?” 😭
And honestly, this is what makes KNOT even more disappointing for me.
I’ve watched so many BLs from MFlow Entertainment, and I have NEVER dropped one. Not one. 😭 Even when a drama wasn't perfect, I would still push myself to finish it because I wanted to see how the story ended.
But this?
This is going to be the first MFlow Entertainment drama that I actually drop.
And that says a LOT because I genuinely went into this wanting to love it. I had my favorite couples there, I was excited about the omegaverse concept, and I really thought this was going to be something special.
But now I’m nine episodes in and I genuinely don’t understand what they’re doing with the story anymore. 😭
I really hope these actors get a much stronger project next time because I genuinely think they deserve better material. The talent and chemistry are there. They just need a story that actually knows what it wants to be.
At this point, Thai BL really needs to chillax, breathe, and remember that quality matters too. 😭 Because I don’t know what they are doing anymore. I genuinely don’t.
Thank you for summing up my feelings about this series.Quite honestly I didn't plan on watching it, mainly because…
For real 😭😭 my stubbornness was sooo strong with this series because I really wanted to finish it, especially because I love the couples and I genuinely had high hopes for them. But at this point, I don’t even know what to say anymore. 😭 I can’t even force myself to finish it.
And yes, I really hope their next project is MUCH stronger because these actors clearly have potential and the chemistry is definitely there. I just don’t know what happened with this particular project. 😭
And PLEASEEE 😭 “you can be excited that it’s ending” was so mean but so accurate at the same time. 💀 At this point, maybe that really is the only thing I have left to look forward to.
When I started this BL, I was SO invested in it, for real. I was genuinely excited because some of my favorite couples are in it, so obviously I was going to watch it. 😭 I had high expectations for this series, especially after seeing the trailer and knowing what we were getting into.
Episode 1 came, and yes, I was excited. I was already looking forward to episode 2. But honestly, somewhere around episode 3, I started asking myself, “Wait… what exactly is the plot anymore?”
Because do you know how many times I’ve had to come back to MDL just to check whether I was actually watching the right series? 😭 I kept checking the cast because at this point, I genuinely couldn’t tell if there were only two main characters or if EVERYONE in this drama was a main character.
There are no supporting characters anymore! Everyone has their own storyline, their own drama, their own problems, their own screen time. At this point, I feel like the actual main characters have become the supporting characters. 😭
And I’m just sitting here asking: WHAT IS THE PLOT?
What happened to the thriller that got me so excited in the first place? Because the trailer made this look like something I was going to be completely hooked on. But where is that story now? Where is that excitement?
And honestly, I think there are some roles that certain actors are just PERFECT for, while some roles… maybe not so much. Because what is going on here? 😭
This omegaverse concept? Obviously, I was excited for it. And we all know Boat and Oat are going to give us something with these characters, especially because they’re playing an omegaverse couple. I had so much faith in them.
But please… what is going on?
Did they just put Boat and Oat in this drama for us to look at them? Because at this point, I’m genuinely wondering. 😭
The supposed main characters barely feel like the main characters anymore. Their screen time is so limited compared to everything else happening in this drama, and there is barely any plot holding everything together.
And can somebody tell me something?
Since this drama started, apart from the explicit scenes—let’s put those aside for a second—what exactly has been exciting you?
What is that one thing that makes you sit down and say, “I NEED to see the next episode”?
Because I’m struggling to find it.
Even now, we’re heading toward episode 10. Please, somebody ginger me. 😭 Tell me what I’m supposed to be excited about. What exactly am I going to get in episode 10 that is going to make me say, “Yes! I’m glad I continued”?
Because at this point, I’m not seeing the reason to continue anymore.
And the fact that I’m even considering dropping this drama is crazy to me. Normally, when I really like a couple, I will do everything possible to finish their series, no matter how messy the drama gets. I’ll sit there and suffer through it because I like the couple. 😭
But this one?
I genuinely don't know anymore.
At this point, I’m not even sure the MLs we were introduced to as the main leads are actually the main leads anymore. They’ve basically become supporting characters in their own drama.
Actually, let me not even call them supporting characters.
They are giving guest-role energy at this point. 😭
And that is honestly where I’m at with this series.
Big Jane and Little Jane... I love whatever is wrong with them. 😭🤍 Novel readers already know Big Jane is absolutely crazy in love with Little Jane. The only way he could keep him was by tying him down. 🫠 Yeah... that man was completely gone. 🤧
I know most of us are annoyed by how much of a pushover Lu Xiaofan seems, but honestly, you can't fully understand someone's situation or mindset without putting yourself in their shoes.
It's like moving to a new country and expecting to know how everything works within a week. Lu Xiaofan was thrown into an unfamiliar, complicated world, and he's trying to survive the only way he knows how.
Bei Luqing is obviously in love with Lu Xiaofan. The problem is that he expresses that love through control because he knows Lu Xiaofan will always listen to him, no matter what. Lu Xiaofan, on the other hand, loves him so deeply that he can't bear to be ignored or pushed away.
That's what makes their relationship so intense. They're both obsessed with each other, just in very different ways.
The truth is, Fu Tong's love for MooMoo needs to be studied 😂😭. The way he thinks about him, dreams about him, notices every little detail about him... he knows way too much. At this point, he's giving a masterclass on how much a person can know when they're completely obsessed with someone 😂
Jay's obsession with knowing every little thing about Sun's life is insaneeeee 😭 The webtoon really put everything into perspective. And don't even get me started on Sun acting all shy and flustered around Jay like he completely forgets how to function. 🫠💕
I truly never understood this. When i watched love syndrome 3 first I was like ok even I will behave like day…
Foreal it's interesting, but most people that don't read novel.. It will be nice see someone that will just talk about it😂😂 but i have read everything from part 1 to 4
Day is WAY worse than Lu Feng and many other characters, yet I’ve never seen this level of outrage about him…
The reason is actually that Love Syndrome 1 & 2 were never fully adapted into a drama because they were considered too explicit. A lot of context gets missed if you only know the series through clips or the show.
If people actually read the novels, they would understand the full picture better. Even after the marriage, Day was still pretty extreme, just a little softer compared to before, but the core issues were still there.
I agree! Somebody convinced me to read the novel, I was not ready for that. What he did to Itt in the beginning…
Exactly! That's why I can't put Lu Feng above Day. The drama already toned down a lot of things, but the novel was a whole different experience. What Day did to Itt in the beginning was genuinely disturbing. Sometimes Itt's attachment to Day felt less like romance and more like Stockholm Syndrome. That's why, for me, Day is still one of the most toxic BL MLs ever written. 😭🏴
